SFMR register creates and configures FIDs. As preparation unified bridge
model, add some required fields for future use.
The device includes two main tables to support layer 2 multicast (i.e.,
MDB and flooding). These are the PGT (Port Group Table) and the
MPE (Multicast Port Egress) table.
- PGT is {MID -> (bitmap of local_port, SPME index)}
- MPE is {(Local port, SMPE index) -> eVID}
In Spectrum-2 and later ASICs, the SMPE index is an attribute of the FID
and programmed via new fields in SFMR register - 'smpe_valid' and 'smpe'.
Add the two mentioned fields for future use and increase the length of
the register accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
